Question 1

How much “elemental” magnesium is in each tablet?

Accepted Answer

I'll give you two different possible answers because I don't know how to interpret what the label says. The label states "Magenesium 270mg (as magnesium glycinate chelate) per serving, which is defined as two tablets. The problem is, I don't know if the 270mg refers the the weight of the actual element magenesium or the weight of the magnesium glycinate chelate molecule.

If the weight refers to the element, then elemental magnesium is 135mg (270/2) per tablet.

If the weight of refers to the magnesium glycinate chelate molecule then the weight of elemental magnesium is roughly 19mg per tablet. This is because the weight of the magnesium element is only roughly 14% () of the weight of the magnesium glycinate chelate molecule.

There maybe others out there that know which option of the two the term "weight" refers to. If not, since Amazon sells it as their brand, they should be able to clarify.

Question 2

Im confused. At top it says magnesium glycinate but ingredients only show stearate which isn't especially healthy. What's really in this?

Accepted Answer

The stearate is listed under 'other' ingredients, aside from the Magnesium Glycinate ;)

Question 3

What are the cons assocuated with this product?

Accepted Answer

They work just as good as Doctor’s Best Chelated magnesium - they are glycinate and not oxide but like Doctor’s Best THEY ARE HUGE PILLS - very hard to take unless you crush them up.

Question 4

Is this magnesium glycinate? The title says it but in the ingredients it only says “magnesium stearate”… not the amino acid glycine

Accepted Answer

Magnesium Glycinate is a form of magnesium that is “chelated” or attached to the amino acid glycine. I don’t know what your bottle says but this one is 64% glycinate on my bottle.
